I recently started playing Starbound again after a hiatus of a few years.
For the context, I have a pretty big history with the game, buying one of the old supporter tiers (Pixel Tier, in March 2014) and playing though all the first betas up until the final release and subsequent (rare) updates. I also ended up contributing quite a lot to the mod adding French translations to the game which was fairly fun to me at the time.
This time, I’m not using the official game client, but rather another one called OpenStarbound which corrects some bugs and adds some features taken from other patch sets.
It’s honestly good to see that the community still has its passion for the game, and still maintaining that sort of stuff.
Here are some pics of my colony, made on the first planet I spawned on:
I finished the main quest in about 5 hours of gameplay, without rushing for anything and right now progressing through the endgame steadily.
I still need to get all the unique boss drops to upgrade them to on the weapons upgrade anvil at some point. The bounty hunter side also needs some work.
And yes, this is basically without any content mods, the vanilla game is fun enough to me.
